The next 6 weeks rock. We just has Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday. Just food, family and fun. No shopping, gifts, etc. Just hang with family and friends, eat and nap on the couch. I am not the biggest Christmas fan; but, I found my own way to enjoy it. I don't do the tree and light stuff. It's just not me. Instead, I use the time to reconnect with "lost" friends, sponsor an underprivilaged child and do one good deed for my community (volunteer for a day somewhere). New Years!! Party like a rockstar!! Spend way too much money and have fun!! Wake up to the new year feeling but with a big smile. I figure every day of the year has to be better after the new years hangover. Enjoy yourselves and have fun!! The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Anyone know a good roofer in NYC? Skydiver owned would be a plus. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Thanks Deb. I have no problem with the 8-12 week wait. I know most furniture is 6-8 weeks. I am more concerned with good service and good products. I'll add Boyles to the list to check out. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Wedding accesories. I just might bid on it. Shipping to US is less than $10. Would be fun to take for a jump. Might be good for a linked exit. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

What the hell were you looking for when you found that???? Oh the joy of E-bay. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Any one have any experience? I am looking to buy a complete living room and dining room. Is it worth it to buy in NC and ship to NYC? Anyplace to try or more important, any places to avoid? I go to NC about 3 times a year to visit dad, so we will actually see before buying. Thanks, Brian The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Thanks guy. Looks like it will be something LeapFrog for the little guy. Hope he likes it. Got to shop quick before the rush. I hate crowds. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

You could almost do two in the time I finished in. At least I did it. LOL The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. -
This year, many things came in the way. I am not giving up the sport, but, some more important things came up. My wife was sick, some major renovation on the house, a new job. I just could not swing the time. I will be back in spring and jump as much as possible. To me jumping is something that I do for myself and ONLY for myself. I love the people at my DZ, I love jumping and I love the parties. Sometimes thing come up that are more important. When that happens, jumping has to be put on hold. It will be there for me in the spring. No worries. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

So the wife was getting a little impatient with the speed of the work being done at the house. I found a real simple way to get her to see my side. Make her help me. This revalation came after I installed a range and hood on Friday while off from work. She came home and said "Wow, I thought you would have gotten more done." All I did was run the electric for the hood, made some minor mods to the hole I made in the wall for the vent, hooked up the hood, ran the rest of the gas line for the range, test for leaks, pick up range, and install. Not too bad for one person over a day. So now, she is working everyday with me on the project. When I work in the evenings after work, she is going to help. Weekends, she's working. In 2 days, she is learning that we are not as fast as the pros and since I like things as close to perfect as possible, sometimes it takes more time. Had a great laugh today. I got to ask, "Are you finished staining the moulding?" She said "It takes a lot longer than it looks." I guess it really is the small things in life. Hopefully next weekend we will be done. I'm not sure if I can keep this pace up. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Tony, the easy way to deal with painting is split the work. She tapes eveything, helps clear out the room and do the clean up. You do the repairs and paint. It's simple, painting is every 2 to 3 years. It's relatively cheap, and it will help keep her happy. There is no happy home with an unhappy woman.

Chris, I know that it is a vicious cycle. When you finish the last project on the list, you are coming up on re doing the first ones. Then there are the upgrades. "Hey, we haven't spent any money on the house lately, maybe we coud XXXXX". It was a lot of $$$ and tons of work; but, it is all starting to come together. Now to watch the game and eat. Then back to work. GO JETS!! The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

So we start with, lets change the floors in the living room, dining room and kitchen. It became: Throw out all the living room and dining room furniture. Do the living room dining room and kitchen floor, tear out the tub sorround upstairs, replace shower body, re tile, re tile down stairs bathroom, and finally take the wrought iron gate down to bare metal, prime and paint. Not bad for 2 weeks of solid work. Now all I need to do is repaint all and I'm good. The new stove is coming next month and the wife is happy. So I am now officially BROKE!! We have no furniture upstairs and we are hanging out in the basement. Now the long process begins to buy furniture. It looks like I'll be broke for the next few months. Let hope for a good bonus!! Next week I'm back jumping. I deserve a day to myself.

Thanks for the smiles. I remember the first bike I got. Wow, it seems like yesterday (or 24 years ago I get confused at this age). I can't wait to have kids to do that with. The wife is acutally encouraging it. She says "It will be good for them to go out with dad and get you all out of the house for a while." HMMM, might have to fire up the old CR. I haven't ridden it once this year. Even the street bikes have only seen about 2500 miles. This adulthood thing stinks sometimes. Tell the kids to have tons of fun with it. Great to see that the have gear on. No gear no ride, even at 36 years old. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

You can goof on him if you want; but, at least he is there for his kid. Guys who take the time to take portraits with their kids usually at least try to be involved with their kids. Sorry to get all serious. If it was just him, I could have some fun with it. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Canopy Control Class near NYC ?
Brian425 replied to hongkongluna's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
No dis to Sonic, Scott has been making canopy control classes his business for the last few years. It is his specialty. The key is that Sonic is at the DZ everyday and can help with a ton of the basics. Plus he is a fun guy to be with. In my humble opinion, he could get some good basic canopy instruction from some of the regulars at the Ranch and then take Scott's class in the spring if he cannot travel too much.

Canopy Control Class near NYC ?
Brian425 replied to hongkongluna's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Every year Scott Miller comes to the Ranch early in the summer (May or June). They usually do their best to get the low jump number people in the class. I would also agree with asking Sonic for help. You will get some kick ass training and some funny stories about the past and present of skydiving. Also, a big thumbs up for looking for canopy coaching. It will help you through out your skydiving career. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand. -
This just pisses me off. They fly better on their backs than I do on my belly. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Drinks would be better. With the summer coming to an end, it would be hard to give up a weekend day for a picnic. If you want to do dinner and drinks somewhere, I'm in. We could meet for jumps the next day at a DZ. The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

Perhaps this would be better in the BASE forum. Cute kid! The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

I live in Brooklyn and jump at the Ranch and occasionally at Skydive Jersey shore. I don't mind picking up a few people on Saturday mornings for a ride to the Ranch. I do come home fairly early; but, there are many ways home from the Ranch and a 50-50 chance to get a ride to Manhattan if you ask around.
